yeah there is a topic on how to install them in the D.I.Y section i used it when installing mine comes up a treat if you wanna see photo's look in here (forced induction section) for my topic Green N/A build.

Cheap copy of Greddy. Some people have them though. I think its a bit of a gamble whether or not you end up with one thats cast properly or not... in saying that just jap would probably replace it for you. I went with a proper Greddy on my car, I personally prefer to support the genuine stuff.

A few years ago, Greddy was the only feasible aftermarket plenum option for the rb25.

Then suddenly someone copied it and flogged them off cheap.

I have no experience with this particular jjr product and as such I am not commenting on that product, but some people have noticed flow inconsistencies between the cylinders with the copies I referred to.

i had this manifold instaled on my previus R33 and efect was great, manual was here in DIY section but i cant find it there any more:(

here is the link:)

Unless you are in a huge hurry to get one i would keep an eye on ebay and the for sale section and wait for a genuine greddy to pop up, will cost you a few hundred more but will work the way it should.

copying the out side of one of these is easy, the inside is where all the r&d goes and thats the dodgy bit of these copies.

It usually has a big GREDDY logo in red stamped on the top of it near the throttle body :)

my genuine Greddy one didn't have a red logo stamped on it. it did however come with a Greddy sticker that goes in the big raised up rectangle on top of the thing. it also comes with shiny screw in fittings for the the vacuum/pressure lines and pretty much all the vacuum hose / clamps / bolts etc you need to install the thing.

mmm ive seen a few of the ebay copies first hand. they are pretty average.

I'm going to buy one soon and cut it open, weld the pin holes/craters and shitty bits up and clean the runners up and then weld it back together. then get the surfaces machined and maybe putty and paint one. see what the total comes to.. just for science

as they come tho they are pretty average. genuine greddy items are very pricey now. and hypertune are great and are also expsensive..(but when you know what goes into them, ie runners, velocity stacks and the billet plenum section they are a work of art and are worth every damn penny. plazaman items also look the biz. high quality stuff and results to back it up

i bought a stryder manifold (very simular design to hypertune). couldnt be more impressed. but i had to modify a few things. had to fit throttle cable bracket. and move both water sensors near the top radiator pipe inlet..... bit of mucking about but great product

anyway as for the chinese copies mate they are like any other chinese product. Hit and miss buyer beware

cheers

I wonder if anyone has tried a NISMO one, from what I understand the NISMO one is the unit that MINE's uses when it replaces the plenum on it's stage 2 RB26 upgrade.. I wonder if they can be made to fit an RB25 liket he Greddy one can???

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
